Load Types > Uniform Load
Selection of a Load Type of the load type group for the definition of uniformly distributed element loads.
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Uniform concentric element load (QG, QL) | Concentric uniform load acting over the whole clear element length |
| Uniform eccentric element load (QEXG, QEXL) | Eccentric uniform load acting over the whole clear element length |
| Self weight - load and mass (G) | Definition of the self weight loading with using the specific weight Gamma (uniform line load = cross-section area * Gamma) In dynamic analysis, the weight is also accounted for allocated masses. |
| Self weight - just as load (G0) | In dynamic analyses, the weight is not accounted for allocated masses. |
| Self weight - just as mass (GM) | The weight is only accounted for allocated masses in dynamic analysis. |
| Self weight (active composite part) (GPA, GPA0, GPAM) | Definition of the self weight loading of an active partial element of a composite element (line load = part-cross-section area * Gamma, applied on the composite element). |
| Self weight (inactive composite part) (GPI, GPI0, GPIM) | Self weight loading of an inactive partial element of a composite element (line load = part-cross-section area * Gamma, applied on the composite element). |
